Not What We Came Here To See ~~ Micro Poetry, Dodoitsu Form

Expectations?

Alligators in the pond 
They came from miles them to see 
Gators they saw, something more 
Little dogs inhaled

This piece of micro poetry, a four line poem, is written in Dodoitsu Form, a Japanese poem form having seven syllables in its first three lines and five in the fourth.  Read more, The Writer's Digest, http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/dodoitsu-poetic-forms 

I am writing this evening with my iPad.  I found this alligator in the water at Port Arthur, Texas.

How about this guy?
He's a Devil not a Man
No, better,
He's a Reptile, not a Fish.
